Today's been hard, emotionally for me. I found out via facebook that one of my former students is pregnant with her second child at 21 (I have infertility issues), and that another committed suicide yesterday. I've been a bit stunned for the majority of the day. I forgot to make dinner, lock the house, and I unintentionally arrived at work one hour early. So overall, it hasn't been my day.

But I've had some NSVs. Last time I posted here regularly, I lost from somewhere in the 240s down to 217. Never once did anyone say anything to me about looking like I'd lost weight. This time, I started at 234 and am now at 222. 3 people today, and one person yesterday have all commented on my weight loss. I must be doing something right! I'm trying to revel in it a little, but it's been hard today. Maybe tomorrow. For now, though, I'm going to keep on truckin'.

but congrats on the weight that you've lost so far. Great job!

I'm so sorry about the student who died. It's hard not to feel helpless. I'm glad you had a little silver lining to your day, but sometimes, you just have to acknowledge the cloud..

sorry for the bad news - that's a lot to handle esp. in one day!!

But a great NSV - it's always wonderful to get some positive reinforcement.

sorry you had such terrible news. On the other hand, it's wonderful that 3 people noticed your weight loss and it seemed to come at exactly the right time.

Thanks guys. I feel a lot better today. And even though I was feeling shocked and sad yesterday, I still worked out for an hour, and it was the best thing I could do for my stress.

Keep at it ladies. We'll get there.

I am glad that you are feeling better, and that you did not use the stressful day as an excuse to miss your workout, or overeat, or whatever! Good for you for sticking OP through the rough days too.

Congrats on the compliments too.
